2.1.4 Updating the BIOS

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) can be updated using the

AwardBIOS Flash Utility. Follow these instructions to update the BIOS using

this utility.

1. Download the latest BIOS file from the ASUS web site. Rename the file

to M2N-VMDH.BIN and save it to a floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash

disk in FAT 16/12 format.

Save only the updated BIOS file in the floppy disk to avoid loading the

wrong BIOS file.

2. Copy the AwardBIOS Flash Utility (awdflash.exe) from the Software

folder of the support CD to the floppy disk, CD ROM or a USB flash

disk with the latest BIOS file.

3. Boot the system in DOS mode using the bootable floppy disk, CD ROM

or a USB flash disk you created earlier.
